I don't hate it, but I'm trying so hard to adore it too. I've given up on slagging it off for the bugs because I've made my point several times already and it's getting old. But I literally came home for xmas break, plugged the PS3, turned on Skyrim and played. I was lost in it for half an hour, then got sleepy and went to bed. A normal session.
Next morning I was plugging the Xbox to replay Deus Ex: HR and continue my Morrowind playthrough, then watched La Femme Nikita and Stargate SG-1 with my mom.
After that, and to this day, I just play Morrowind after work and watch shows with mom, without thinking twice about shiny, snowy, newfangled Skyrim.
Then again, I didn't get into Oblivion till much later, too. Maybe the reason I can't is because of my ambivalence combined with the fact that no one will shut the fuck up about its godly greatness. You ever tried to sleep with Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" stuck in your head? I've been trying to for the past two days with very, very little success. Thank work radio and majority rule for that.
It's a lot like that, the Skyrim praises...And it sucks. I wanna feel for it what I felt for Zelda and Deus Ex previously. I wanna party with all the Skyrim fans, but right now it's not happening at all. Not compelled in the least.

I don't hate the game. I haven't even played it. What I can't stand though is the hype and how people go on about it incessantly. I have, on the other hand, seen gameplay videos and said "so what" just like I always have about the other Elder Scrolls games. Some people claim to give My Little Pony fans heck because it's everywhere? Skyrim is everywhere. And I'm sick of it.
Edit: And oh God, those "arrow to the knee jokes". So old. So, annoyingly old. Please, enough with them.
